He was a solicitor apparently and that was his selling point. He was simply the worst fighter I had ever seen live. To his credit I think he didn't get stopped

Edit - this is the guy http://boxrec.com/boxer/396617

I remember him. I enjoyed watching him. Technique was awful.
He's got potential but the jury's still out on how far he can go.

I've watched him box and always looked very capable

Yeah I think he had polio as a kid and has a dodgy leg which doesn't help his movement

I like him without seeing him then, he must be some character to have the balls to box with a handicap

Yeah, they're the first 2 boxers that come to mind

I was treating this a joke thread, they are very boring to watch though all the same!

True

15 consecutive KO’s at the European level. Or perhaps that should say 15 consecutive KOs INCLUDING his European reign.
Witter...........what can you say? I certainly think he deserves to be a celebrated British fighter but he seemed not to pull the trigger at top level. Belief issues? Idk......he dismantled all the Europeans and nearly decapitated Vivian Harris but they say his early pop at Judah he just looked to go the distance Witter had the power to topple any opponent.

True

I agree also btw.

I forget his name, but his nickname is Mr. Reliable. He has a record of like 10-255-2 or something like that, and has never scored a KO win.

There's another guy named Jason Nesbitt with 10 wins, and 170 something losses.

Career losers, however to have a record like that you have to be just showing up and not giving a legit effort. Just lasting the distance, taking your loss, and cashing your check.

Even if you sucked if you gave a legit effort you'd win more than that after that many fights.

Kristian Laight is excellent at his job aswell as a great asset to the careers of young prospects, He is also a highly underated boxer with skills that many that make it to title level lack however as is the business if you cant sell tickets you have to earn a living as an opponent for those that do ....having watched the ease in which Kristian deals with many prospects I am sure that in different circumstances he would have won a british at least

He's durable. Only ever been stopped twice. I haven't seen any of his fights I don't guess, but I can't imagine you'd be all that talented losing that many fights. He's learned how to survive in fights obviously though.

To be fair he only had 2 weeks notice for Judah.....shame him and Hatton didn't box

Its not that easy to go the distance with Derry Mathews,Terry flanagen,Kevin mitchell,Jazza dickens,Sean Dodd,Tommy coyle,Chad Gaynor,Rick Godding,Tyrone nurse,Gary sykes,Shane Signleton,Maxi hughes,Antony cacace,Martin ward,leigh wood,issac lowe as well as all the area champions and top amatuers laight has shared the ring with.
If he didnt have talent hed be bashed to pieces 200 fights ago sharing the ring with these kind of guys.

The point is if you suck you wont have that many fights to get those wins if yr no good after 20 fights and 5 or 6 bad stoppage losses you would retire.

He fought all of these guys when they were just getting started. He's a good survivor I'll give him that. Talented guys don't lose over 90% of their fights.

Yeh but the worst guys dont get thru against those guys in there debut let alone other times,the title of the thread was worst british pro,my point was the worst of british pros would not be abl to get in and go anywhere with those guys,the worst british pro would not be able to do ten rounds.The worst british pro wouldnt beat unbeaten guys even with out any kind of big punch.
The title of thread was worst british pro if you think any pro out there could just get fit and have 236 fights with only five stoppage losses against aba champions olympians etc yr wrong so hes obviously not as the title asked the worst british pro

True: Probably one of the 10 guys he beat is.

Laight is extremely good at his job.

One name Charlie Z.

Very disrespectful topic in my opinion and names such as witter, McDonnell, laight being bandied about is out of order.

Still a good looking lad considering hes spent the last 15 years having people try to punch him in the face
